Hey yall, got a (kinda) small update for ya.

To start, just wanted to say a big thank you to all who’ve watched and enjoyed Nostalgic Nightmare. The few comments made were heartwarming to hear, and I’m truly grateful for them. They give me hope for my art career.

With that said, I still want to continue this story, but with the thought of making 2 more animation projects that would potentially be longer than the first, I realized my ambitions and decided to not go forward with that option.

This was my first ever real animation project. Even I knew doing so was not a good idea, especially since I did plan to add a lot of story elements, but I guess my dumbass was too stubborn to listen and just wanted to make something cool.

For those wondering, the original idea of the animations was to simply provide a glimpse into the past of the three goils plus some lore insights for the characters and the world they live in. And even though I wanted to do so through the combination of atmosphere, sound, and animation, I thought it was ultimately best to go another route.

So from now on, Despondent Anemoia will continue as a comic.

(Truth be told, it would’ve just been those 3 animations before I moved on to an actual comic that would be more fit for storytelling. Just thought doing animation first would be cool.)

Sticking with my original plan, there will be 2 parts. The first (Despondent Childhood) is a concise collection of comics (possibly around 10 chapters or less) showcasing moments of the girls’ childhood experiences, plus some additional characters soon to be told. The second (Despondent Anemoia) is the main story which will expand on the characters and the world they inhabit. It won’t be necessary to read the first part first to understand the second; it’s just to give some extra content and lore for the main story. And with the Neighbor comic being made, we’re practically a tenth of the way there. 

And that’s pretty much it for news on this series! As I said before, I’m not too great with dates or deadlines, so I’ll just be working on and posting these comics when I get the chance. I’ll be doing so here on Newgrounds and Webtoon.

In addition to this, I’ll also be opening a Patreon for direct support in this series. I’m still new to the system, so bear with me if updates go slow at first. I'll try to post exclusive content involving the comic there

Commissions are still open as well! You can check out my Kofi page for more info if you’re interested.

If not, or you can’t directly support me, sharing this around and reading the comics also helps.

That’s all for now. Talk to you all soon. <3

And who knows. If all goes well, I would love to get around to animating those chapters as originally planned.
